Here’s what we’ve heard so far from West Seattle churches/synagogues – we’re updating not just to add what more we get, but also to remove services/events after they’ve occurred:

FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH OF WEST SEATTLE (WSB sponsor)
4105 California SW

The Three Days

In the Christian year, three days stand out above all the rest. Anciently known as the “Triduum,” these three days are considered one liturgy that begins on Maundy Thursday and reaches its climax at the Easter Vigil.

Maundy Thursday + April 2, 7:00 p.m.

The Triduum begins this evening by remembering Jesus’ last supper with his disciples which became the institution of the Lord’s Supper celebrated at every Eucharist. Tonight we hear Jesus’ command to love one another and partake in the feast of love. The altar is ceremoniously stripped and we leave in silence…

Good Friday + April 3, Noon and 7:00 p.m.

The Three Days continues on this day. The evening service of Tenebrae includes the Passion reading from John’s Gospel,
the service of light and darkness, the bidding prayers, and adoration of the cross. The Noon service will be a similar liturgy without Tenebrae. Again, we leave in silence without a final blessing…

Easter Vigil + April 4, 7:00 p.m.

This is the night of nights! We begin with the lighting of the Paschal Candle, and then hear the story of salvation unfold in the scripture readings, renew our baptismal vows, and celebrate the Eucharist. The Triduum is complete. We celebrate the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection and our participation in this mystery through the gift of baptism.

Easter Sunday + April 5, 10:30 a.m.

The celebration of the Vigil spills over into Easter Sunday with the celebration of the Resurrection. All stops are pulled as we rejoice with the news of Christ’s resurrection.
